Tuesday Word Bytes: Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm!

I LOVE words! I think language is the best part of being a human. There's nothing as good as taking a new word and rolling it around the inside of my mouth and feeling how it tastes.Todays word;Boufage (boo-fahj)A French word meaning a satisfying meal.In an English/French dictionary from 1611 the definition is given as;"cheek puffing meat"I think that's great! You know, when you've had a super good meal and eaten as much as you can possibly hold, you lean back in your chair, place your hands over your belly and puff out your cheeks! THAT'S a satisfying meal!I had wondered if there was a connection between the word boufage and our current buffet, but I couldn't find one.

I would think that one could have quite a significant boufage at the right buffet!
